M., andwas called to order by Hon. W.H. West, of , Logan. Hon. T.W.Powell, of Delaware, theoldest member, was chosenTemporary President. Othertemporary officers were thenappointed. The oath was thenedmlnistered by Chief-JusticeWhite. Messw. Rcfus Kino,ofHamilton,L,D. Campbell, efButler, M. R. Waite, of Lucas,and Peter Hitchcock were placed in nomination for the Presidency.

Myers, of Pickaway.Charles Rhodes, a printer, ofJackson, was elected Post-master for the Convention.The Modoc War.The Modoc war promises tobe a repitition of the Seminolowar in Florida thirty years ago.Then, as now, the purpose ofthe Federal Government was toforce the Indians to remove.The best officers of the army ofthat day were, one after another, sent with troops to dislodgethe small band of Seminoles,who were headed by Oceolaand Billy Bowlegs. The warwas a protracted one. Occasionally an Indian was killedor a squaw captured. Themain body of the Indians, taking refuge in the everglades,could not be got at. Finally,after a heavy expenditure ofmoney, and the loss of manytroops, negotiations were reoperied, and the Indians induced to remove. The Sanfrancisco Bulletin says: "Aboutforty Modocs, having at thelast accounts, nineteen guns,several squaws, and a tolerablesupply of whisky, have defiedthe Federal Government forover two months to 'gatherthem in.' An old hunter up inthe mountains offered to deliverthe scalps of the whole lot, atthe nearest express office, 'G.0. D.n For less money thanthe Government has expendedin a single month in treatingwith the rascal. The Modocwar thus far, has been a curious mixture of comedy andrtragedy."i 'J.J . .

Bowen, Esq.,Editor Enquirer :Dear Sir: Your favor of the 13,to hand this morning as noted.Our work is steadily but slowly progressing. Wo have at work fromseventy to eighty men. Have hada small force at work through thewinter, and thus far this spring,with from forty to seventy horsesand mules. Have worked throughthe winter principally on heavyand rock cuts. We expect to increase the work materially in abouttwo weeks. We have had noestimate of the work done sinceJanuary 1st made, but will sendyou herewith the Engineers' reportto that date.It would be impossible, underpresent state of matters, to tellwhen the work will be commencedin ypur County; but I believe ifthe Board would make arrangements to commence there at anearly day, that most of your subscriptions would bo paid promptly.But you are aware that there hasbeen a strong disposition to holdback, to ee what the SupremeCourt would do with the Boesel B,R, law that foot having now beenascertained, and said law been declared unconstltuioual. Our citizens will see that if we are to havea railroad that we must go to workand build it. That has alwaysboon my opinion, and I have workedsteadily auead, witu tnat qojeci inview; and must believe, that if myefforts had been supported by thestoek'holders of the Company, asthey should have been by tho payment of the installments on theirsubscriptions as they matured, ourroad would have been graded toyour town before this. Rut insteadof encouraging the enterprise, everyeffort within the reach of a fewdisappointed, selfish and enviousaspirants, has been resorted to forthe purpose of defeating it, or failin that, of delaying the enterprise,Finding that their inisrepresentations and abuses of the officers ofthe Company had not the desiredeffect of stopping the work, as a final resort, they determined to withhold the payment of their subscriptions; finding the work still progressed, whether they paid their installments or not, this oppositionfound that they must adoptsome other plan, or the road wouldbe built in the face of all their opposition; and to effect their object,every effort was resorted to thattricky minds could bring to bear,by misrepresentations, to carry theelection in January. Failine inthat, the next move was underwrit of quo warranto, which was tohave been tried in April, but ha?'ing failed to give legal notice, theycould not have it tried, and the District Court adjourned to July 8th,when it is said, the opposition willhave the case tried ; if so.you will findit will end in smoke or gas. Butto some extent, it is having the effect desired by them, viz: giving lawyers, (some of them havesued on their stock,) fees,and discouraging some of thefriends of the road.I have tho samo opinion I havealways had in regard to buildingthe road, but it cannot be done sorapidly by a part of the stock-holders trying to pull it down, as itcould bo by all working together.I have intendod, for some weekspast, to visit your town, but I havehad my hands full, and the roadshave been too bad for anything butslow traveling. I cannot say w henthe road will bo finally located toyour town, but that is a Job that willrequire but a few days, and can bedone almost any time. When desirable, I may bo ablo to give yousome further items, and shouldoften have written to you, but muchof the time homo matters havekept me closoly engaged in the office, when not out on the line.I will send you herewith, theprospectus of tho Berlin and Pom-eroy railroad, by which you willsee that other parties ai-o movingto reach the immense beds of mineral that line our route. This roadwill cross our line about twenty-twoor twenty -three miles from here,and some of the parties interestedin it, assume that it will be built,and I think many of the disconttcd people here would be willingto connect with t))Cm ftt that point,and go no further,A few months ago this oppositionwere all up for the Ohio Valley road, which Appeared to be almost exclusively dependent uponthe action of tax-payers under theBcosel railroad law. Jf pur roadwas completed to Logan, we wouldhave the cheapest most valuable,and best dividend paying road Inthe State for its length. It wouldbe tho main trunk mineral railroadthrough the best portion of the mineral portion of tho. State. It wouldbe but a short time ubtll In addition to the Berlin road, referred toabove, we would have a connectionby rail with Circleville, at or nearyour town, and very probably, also,with a -road from Washington, Fayette couuty.As an investment, I do not believethere is an enterprise in the Stateof Ohio, to-day, that presents asgood a prospect for a large profit, asthere Is in the stock of our railroad.True, it progresses slowly, butevery week is adding something tothe work, and if all interestedparties would do their duty, (weask no more,) we would soon havea railroad; but if you hire a manto publish your paper, then tell himyou will not furnish him with paperand ink and type, as you agreed to,you cannot expect him to printyour paper, neither should you expect a railroad to be built by yourdirectors when you refuse them themeans to build the road that youhave contracted to furnish themsimply because all the stock-holderscannot be directors. Yet themost of the work thus far done onour road, has been done withoutany money in the treasury of thecompany; but those doing the workhave had confidence enough in thecompany to continue the work Under the asauranoe that their paywas sure, though they might haveto wait for it longer than theyshould. And you wtfl notice, bytho report for January, that I sendyou herewith, that the company wasbetween twelve and fourteen thousand dollars in debt, on January 1st,1873. The annual election washeld on the 15th of January, aridbefore the discontented stock-hold,-ers could vote themselves Into office, they were required to pay uptheir delinquencies, and some ofthem done so, to the amount of fifteen to eighteen thousand dollars,(not being half as. much, as, we expected, from their boasts, would bepaid,) which enabled the directorsto pay off the indebtedness of thecompany; and, on the first of April,the company was entirely put ofdebt, unless there may have beensome small amounts back on payrolls, unaccounted for. I don'tknow of any. Since January, payments have been again almost entirely with held.Yet our people have faith, and.are working steady ahead manyof them workjng tq pay up theirsubscriptions; and if we had themoney that is due, and now payable, on hand, or if it was due frommen that we could rely upon paying it, when needed, we could havethe road ready for the cross-ties toMcArthur, except one tunnel andsome heavy treble, work, ftfld PQssibly the whole of it, by the first ofOctober, and no doubt much of theiron on it by that time. But underthe present state of things, we mustdo as we can, antj nflt as we would,if we had the tools to work with,I hold that to get the greatestbenefit from this road, our citizensshould own and control it, to de-velepe the resources of the route;and to induce capital to come amongus, we need cheap transportationOf the ability of our people toown and control the ralrpad,with but little inconvenienceto them, I have not a doubt,neither have I a doubt, but it willprove the best investment th.ey evermade if the affairs of the companynre properly conducted, and I haveno doubt but what they will be,With the road graded, there will beno trouble whatever to commandall the money necefsary for theiron and rolling stock on favorableterms. The merit of the route itself would insure that result' I amtold that a learned member ftf thelegislature, from our county, statedhere a few days since, that if ourpeople would grade our road, acompany could, be formed thatwould finish and operate it. Howknowing he must bet Get thisroad graded and ready for the superstructure, and you have a basisthat upon first-mortgage bonds, willbring all tho money you need atfair rates; and you will not needmuch aid to find customers, abroador customers on the line for thebonds. If we have to go abroadfor aid, my theory always has beento do all you can at home first, putevery dollar ii)p work on the roadthat you can; show all that haveinterest enough in the enterpriseto enquire, that you have confidencein it yourselves i thus whon you goto seek aid go with something tangible in your hands.I promised my friends in the outset that I would do my best tobuijd this road, withouC regard tothe backbiting! and mtlloe of anyone that might oppose the work.So far I have done, paying but little attention to any napping' orsnarling that was outside of my duty to the company. The grumblersand falsifiers at home are generallywell-known, and have hut 1 If tie in:fluence on the work.This Is two or three times as longas I Intended it, and has not beenwritten ff,r publication: fottf I leaveit to your own discretion. If jouthink any of it will Interest yourreaders, give it to them.Your Respectfully,May 15, 1873. W. H. LANGLEY.Lord Hope's Choick, Mrs. !A. S.Stevbns' new novel, has just b$enpublished by T. B.

Thscenes and characters in "LordHope's Choice" are mostly English,the parties coming from their bjprneto JNew York under assumed names,on account of family difficulties.Lady Hope, or, Mrs. Hurst, as 'shechooses to call herself, leaves England and flies to this country, , because she knows her husband hastransferred his affections' to theirchild's governess, a handsomeand accomplished lady, namedRachel Closs. Lady Hope bringsher daughter Clara then but twoyears old with her; and, in orderto make her concealment more secure, gives the child into the careof Elizabeth Yates, an old, faithful, family servant, and her fostermother. The Yates's are vanr iwirand live in a tenement house. Asw "(soon as L&ay nope leaven pgtand,her husband nnl tho mvnrnn V1low he hoping to lie able, without'difficulty, to obtain a divorce fromhis wife, He looses no time in discoverine her nlaoe of cnncaalmnnt.and- seeks her consent to the divorce by threatening to take theirdaughter. Mrs. Hurst sti-nordfor tlie child, and dies in the attempt, rather than see this accomplished. During the confusion ofthis scene, the child, frightened,crawis inrougn tue darkness into,the street, where she is. picked up,hours after by pjd. Mis, fates, theysvvi-Hwmoi aim carneu io nerOwn home. A few davs nrevinrwto this, Mrs. Hurst, fearing eventswouia aeveiop rapidly, gave a boxof malachite, of great value, containing the family diamonds, andmoney to a lrrge amount, tQ MrYates, with ina.trctlcina far theirdisposal jfl case of her death,mat nignt, a sou of Mrs. Yateswas seen coming out of Mrs.Hurst's house, and as soon as themurder was dscovered, thU faotbeing known, together with the acknowledgement of the box beingin their possession, the crime naturally fell upon him, for which hewas tried. The mother, in order tosave hereon, falsely swears at having cqinmitted the murder herself,and for Which she is sentenced forlife to hard labor.
